Questions and Answers for the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season
Ask a questionI am interested in 19" All Season Tyres, which I am finding difficult to find, as the tyre size is not popular. Which makers for this size, have the 3 peaks symbol. If 'All Season Tyres' don't have the 3 peaks symbol are they still legal in Germany during the winter i.e. do 'All Season Tyres' qualify as Mud & Snow, which I understand is legal during the winter in Germany.
Got myself a used VW Touareg about 6 months ago and now need new boots; I live in the north of England and drive a lot on small roads in the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District really wanted something for all seasons but the choice is somewhat limited due to my tyre size: 275/45 r20 have narrowed it down to Pirelli Scorpion Verde alll season, Goodyear Eagle LS2 & Continental ContiCross Contact LX Sport. The later two aren’t sold as all season but do have the M&S marking. Also possibly General Grabber AT3 but I’dont do that much off road just a few farm tracks and fields. Do you think I’m thinking on the right lines? And any tips/ recommendations? Thanks.
Is this tire directional?

Review Summary
Based on 65 user reviews
Drivers report mixed results with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season. Many SUV owners praise its long tread life, quiet ride, stable handling, and competent dry/snow performance, with several high-scoring reviews citing 40-60k+ miles and strong all-weather confidence. However, a substantial minority report poor wet grip (especially roundabouts), increasing noise and roughness as they wear, and occasional comfort harshness; a few experienced early wear or durability issues, particularly on heavier or high-performance vehicles. Overall sentiment is moderately positive but with notable wet-grip and noise/comfort caveats.
Strengths
- Long tread life
- Quiet ride (when new)
- Good dry grip
- Stable handling
- Decent snow/light off-road traction
Areas for Improvement
- Poor wet grip/roundabout confidence
- Road noise increases with wear
- Harsh/firm ride
- Premature/uneven wear on some vehicles
Top 3 Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Reviews
Dry grip is awesome, when I floor it tire spin is minimal above 4k rpm and cornering doesn't suffer much, coming from Kumho PS71 (UHP summer) there is slight understeer but the Mustang is nose heavy so nothing surprising, I expected worse and unless you push fast it's not noticeable in daily driving. The on-center feel is great and at the same time tramlining which Mustangs suffer from almost disappeared which is miraculous.
Wet grip is much better now, the rear always felt floaty before but it's now planted even during heavy rainfalls (it's spring rn) braking feels good (I also have upgraded Brembo brakes) and only when accelerating/braking over metallic joints or manholes you have to pay attention a bit but this applies to every tire especially in a Mustang.
I'll add details about snow/winter traction in the future when winter comes.
What really surprised me is the noise, the Mustang rides harsh so nothing changed regarding comfort, on the other hand these tires are super quiet, you don't hear them at low/city speeds and during high speeds (up to 200kph) they're quieter than the summer tires I had before. I was expecting a noisy tire considering it's made for SUV with lots of sipes but got the opposite, rides super quiet, Pirelli have always been the quietest riding tires for me and the Scorpion Verde AS is no different.
What I hope will be different than every other Pirelli tire I've had is wear, I managed to get around 30k miles with Michelin CC2, Bridgestone Turanza AS6 while Vredestein Quatrac Pro lasted me a ridiculous 45k miles... I never reached 15k miles with any Pirelli, in particular the Cinturato P7 wore flush to the wear bars before reaching 10k miles (those were OEM not aftermarket). Let's hope the Scorpion Verde AS manages at least 20k miles considering the 600 treadwear rating, we'll see.
Latest Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Reviews
100k plus for the 4 tyres. Still 20% left at the rear and 25% at the front tyres. Wonderful quality right?
I do have an appointment to fit another set of 4 soon. Recommend to buy.
I had these tires on my Mustang for the last 4 months and did 19tkm in the meanwhile
Everything I said before as for comfort still stands, the tires are super quiet, quieter than Michelin CC2 (A/S), Kumho PS71 (UHP), Vredestein Quatrac Pro (A/S) and Conti ASC2 (A/S) so like every other Pirelli I tried the comfort is unmatched, other manufacturers can't be as comfortable.
Tramlining disappeared entirely (heavy on Mustang) and road imperfections were much much smoother compared to my new Conti ASC2 which makes the Mustang feel like riding a camel over every bump despite the same 2.2 bar (32 psi) tire pressure
Dry grip is awesome almost on par with Michelin CC2, no aquaplaning either, a little bit of fishtailing on dry and a little caution in the wet was required but I drive a Mustang so you should expect it to be tail-happy and unpredictable at times, however the Pirelli was miles ahead of the Kumho and around the same as CC2 even if not quite up there with Vredestein or Continental in wet conditions
THE BIG AND DANGEROUS ISSUE
I just went on vacation driving 5,550km road trip through Europe, I've been on the autobahn (speeds over 200kph) and also through Transalpina and Transfagarasan (the best highway in the world) in Romania with my wife and the Mustang was fully loaded with baggages. Hungary was super hot over 30C, the mountains in Romania were challenging continuos turns and twist with crazy uphill and downhill elevations and in Germany I floored it on every autobahn until the 251khp speed limiter kicked in, THIS CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO CRACK FROM THE LOAD AND HEAT, lots of small cracks appeared between the treads like they would on a 6+ years old dry rotting tire, except these tires were fitted only 4 months ago and the DOT is 2424 so they're 1 year old tires, they hardened due to all the weight, power and heat, the tread looks "shiny" like plastic and there's cracks between the tread, my phone camera doesn't pick up the details otherwise I would upload an image.
This caused the rear tires to be dangerous and unpredictable, even though I have 7/32 left which is awesome after 19tkm on a Mustang considering I never had a tire last 30tkm, the Pirelli had a potential to reach 40tkm if not for this issue, now the tire treads are hardened up and even 4th gear feels squirrely in the wet, I literally spin the rear tires until I engage 3rd gear when flooring my Mustang in the dry now. I don't even want to talk about roundabouts or emergency braking.
I had to throw out the Pirelli despite having 7/32 tread left because of this, I now installed ASC2 which are louder, less comfortable but at least have plenty more grip even better than Michelin CC2.
As for snow performance I didn't get to try the Pirelli so I can't compare.
A friend has these Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS on a Range Rover and they're excellent, he predicts to reach 80tkm and snow performance is decent (AWD) so these tires are pretty good especially if you prioritize comfort they're great but having a too powerful or heavy car puts too much stress and heat through the tire I guess so use them for chill cruising not performance or high speed conditions
My last Volvo XC90 had 17" wheels, and I was able to put CrossClimates on it, but my driveway is at an angle, and as I reverse up it, I also need to turn. No vehicle has managed this when it's has 2+ inches of snow (including previous Skoda Superb 4x4 with the CC's). My current Volvo with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season has managed to reverse up the driveway each and every time.
The car and tyres were able to easily travel at 40mph on the snow this morning, met another vehicle coming the opposite direction on a single lane road, I was able to easily stop without any skidding/sliding, reverse back to a passing place, and pull out again once the vehicle passed without issue. Other day, it also easily got up to 50mph on a snow covered single track hill road on the way home, with no loss of grip, also stopped well (was testing to see how good they were!).
The Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season doesn't grip as well in wet weather no the bends, but to be fair the XC90 isn't designed for spirited driving, in the rain, around B road bends!
